DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Details of any power or water on site
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
